Hey!
I just cut out diet soda completely...
I'm not a very religious person, but in the past, friends of mine have each given up something for Lent. If we cheated, we would have to add a quarter to a glass jar and whoever lasted the longest without cheating...would win the jar of money. This year...I'm gonna win!
This year, I gave up soda, chips and cookies. Basically, I gave up things that I want to cut out of my diet completely. I figured this would give me a push in the right direction.
I found it very hard the first week, but I've toughed it out since Feb 27th! It's hard to go to a restaurant and not order soda!
I basically have 3 staple drinks....lots of water, tea (black or green) and sometimes I drink a glass of water that contains about 1/4 of cranberry/raspberry juice, just to have some flavour. I can't stand the aspartame in the little Crystal Light packages anymore...it grosses me out.
I hope this helps!
I may get to the point...eventually...where I may re-introduce soda...once in a while...say once a month, but for now...I've completely cut it out...it's not even an option for me. Good luck!
